Jetstar halts Darwin – Bali ticket sales amid uncertainty

Thursday, July 6, 2023

Jetstar has paused ticket sales between Darwin and Bali for a month amid uncertainty around Defence runway works at Darwin Airport.

The low–cost carrier confirmed in a statement that it has stopped selling direct flights between Darwin and Denpasar – which operate five times per week – from 9 October to 8 November, as Defence, which owns Darwin Airport, may have plans to upgrade the runway during this time.

The airline stated that while the dates and times of the runway works have not yet been confirmed, they have proactively stopped selling flights during this period to limit the number of customers potentially affected. If the works do not go ahead on these dates, they will put the flights on sale.

He also added that it has not yet been cancelled already – booked flights. Once the works are confirmed, they will contact customers already booked to fly to discuss their options including indirect flights via another port, a travel credit, or a refund to their original form of payment.

The runway works are expected to be completed next year.
